(#1) A Burger Dipped In The Restaurant's Grease Trap
From a former Redditor:
My sister worked for Carl's Jr. Every day a lady would ask that her burger be dipped into the grease trap.

(#2) Cheesecake With Onion And Cilantro
From a Redditor:
I have worked in restaurants my whole life and have seen my share of odd requests. The one that I will always remember is when I had a gentleman order a slice of cheesecake with raw onion and cilantro on top. He devoured that sh*t. Grossed me out to the max.

(#3) The Fat From A Piece Of Roast Beef Covered In Gravy
From Redditor /u/Shottaz83:
I used to work at a restaraunt. We had just finished making roast beef and cutting off all of the fat for the sandwiches. Our dishwasher at the time asked me to put all of the fat onto a dish and cover it in gravy. It was easily over 2 lbs of pure fat. He ate the entire plate... I was disgusted.

(#4) Microwaved Salad
From Redditor /u/PNW-Tec:
Back when I used to work in a restaurant, I had a couple... but this is one that still sticks out in my mind.
One lady wanted her salad microwaved so the cheese would melt. I confirmed [her order] a couple of times: she wanted the entire salad - dressing, veggies, everything - microwaved for melted cheese. It was a disgusting, droopy mess, but she happily ate it.

(#5) Burgers Covered In Artificial Sweetener
From Redditor /u/bacloldrum:
Watched a kid and his dad order burgers at Bob Evans at 9 am and cover them in artificial sweeteners like Equal and Sweet'N Low. I mean, it's not even noon. At least have the decency [to] use real sugar.

(#6) Rare Hamburger With Peanut Butter, Ketchup, And Mayo
From Redditor /u/laudinum:
Once I had a customer order a rare hamburger with peanut butter, ketchup, and mayo on it. I believe we were not allowed to serve him the burger rare because this was around the time when Jack in the Box had some hamburger problems in the '90s. He offered to sign a waiver to receive his rare burger, but I think we had to stand firm.

(#8) Eggplant Parmesan With Peanut Butter
From Redditor /u/ODaly:
"Luke" was probably in his late 60s - single, polite, patient, very quiet, and overall just a little bit strange. He'd order an absurd amount of food every time he came in. A normal bill for a single entree, fresh juice, and either a small appetizer or dessert, would probably run $25-30. Luke would run up bills between $80-110. He rarely tipped more than four or five dollars, but that's not what made him a chore to deal with. It was his otherworldly appetite.
We had a veggie juicer, and most people would order something like "carrot, ginger, orange," or "beet, cucumber, apple." Luke would order things like a "6 oz ginger" or an "8 oz beet, garlic," and order two or three juices per meal. You could order a side of mixed veggies cooked however you wanted. Luke once ordered a plate of sautéed garlic. He'd order a cup of every soup we had available that day.
The house salads were some of the main sellers, and Luke would pick and choose and mix and match ingredients into bizarre custom creations (which was maybe one of his least strange habits, though it was tedious). He'd order an entire vegan, gluten-free cheesecake (though he had no dietary restrictions, as far as I know). The cheesecake alone was maybe 14 or 16 inches in diameter and, even with a discount, it cost him about $90.
Luke would order the veggie pizza with no sauce. He'd order the coconut-chocolate malt, but ask for us to add spirulina to it (we had it on hand as a garnish for the strawberry smoothie, but not as a main ingredient). He'd order a side of peanut butter for his eggplant parmesan. He'd order the curry nachos with slices of toast instead of tortilla chips. The man was deranged.

(#9) Steak And Mayo Calzone
From a former Redditor:
A steak and cheese calzone - and instead of cheese a lady wanted an equivalent amount of mayo.
-
(#10) Gravy On Salad
From Redditor /u/MaggiesHarm:
I had someone request BROWN GRAVY to use as their salad dressing. I had to have them repeat it a couple of times because it didn't register.
-
(#11) Apple Juice On Cereal
From Redditor /u/blashpheminCapn:
Apple juice in cereal. That one stuck with me.
Everything else was just "on the side," not as absurd.
-
(#12) Burnt Pizza
From Redditor /u/rutdog:
Worked at a pizza place and had a regular customer who wanted his pizza burnt to a crisp. First time I got the order I thought it was a prank. But each week he would call it in and ask that we not take it out till it was black.
He would eat it there, so I know it wasn't a prank - unless it was a long con to mess with mind and stay forever in my memory. If that's the case, he succeeded.

(#13) Peanut Butter And Relish On A Cheeseburger
From Redditor /u/supersquirrel:
Peanut butter and relish on a cheeseburger. I tried one later that day; it was pretty good.
-
(#14) Grilled Cottage Cheese Sandwich
From Redditor /u/isbeckyok:
Grilled cottage cheese sandwich. Apparently it was her favorite, and her mom would make them for her during the Great Depression as a treat.

(#16) Fries And Grape Jelly
From Redditor /u/johnnybgoode87:
Grape jelly to dip his fries in... He was like 25 years old.
-
(#17) Tomatoes Dipped In Ketchup
From Redditor /u/RUIN570:
I had a woman order two whole tomatoes and a side of ketchup. She cut up and ate them both while dipping them into ketchup.
-
(#18) Canned Corn On Pizza
From Redditor /u/Brandonmac10:
I delivered for a pizza place, and these two fellows came in... They brought some cans of corn with them and asked the girls making the pizza to bake it into the pizza. They came back a few times after.

(#19) Hot Dog Bun With Banana, Peanut Butter, And Bacon
